You might think other Caribbean tourism destinations would be ready to flip their sandals as Cuba's tourism numbers continue to climb.

International visitors to Cuba last year rose by 13.9 percent to a record 4 million, second only to the Dominican Republic (5.96 million), while visitors to the Caribbean region as a whole in 2016 increased just 2.4 percent. Cuban tourism officials are expecting another record year in 2017.
